Detailed Description

This cmdlet adds the Azure Blob Storage to Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input	Accept Wildcard Characters
Folder	Specifies an Azure Blob folder. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will move backups or backup copies into the specified folder.	Accepts the VBOAzureBlobFolder object. To get this object, run the Get-VBOAzureBlobFolder cmdlet.	True	Named	False	False
Name	Specifies a name of Azure Blob object storage. The cmdlet will add Azure Blob Storage to Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 with this name.	String	True	Named	False	False
